Course content
In the course Beer Production 1, students will focus on the production of bottom-fermented beers and yeast beers, from the design of raw materials, their preparation and the actual production of beer using individual technological steps (shredding, wort and wort production) to the moment of fermentation and maturation of beer. Other practical experiences that students will gain relate to ancillary activities in the brewing operation, such as beer bottling or brewery sanitation (homebrewing). 1. Light lager beer (batch preparation, calculation of the amount of individual raw materials, shredding, test batch) 2. Semi-dark lager beer (batch preparation, calculation of the amount of individual raw materials, shredding, test batch) 3. Dark lager beer (batch preparation, calculation of the amount of individual raw materials, shredding, test batch) 4.
